abstractsExperimental analysis of virgin compression of sand tested in the triaxial apparatus is presented. The experiments were performed on loose and dense specimens of `Lubiatowo` sand subjected to either isotropic or anisotropic compression. Experimental results are presented in simple analytical form useful in theoretical considerations. Mean trends of the sand behaviour and deviations from these means are determined. A simple method enabling assessment of the influence of the mean and deviatoric stresses on the volumetric and deviatoric strains, as well as identification of plastic and elastic strains, is proposed. The experimental results are also presented in standard geotechnical representation from which the compressibility and swelling constants are determined. Extensive discussion on this standard representation is enclosed, and some inconsistencies in classical literature pointed out.
